Respect My Authority

Authority is a so, so deal to me because there is some people that try to get you to do something but you can't take them serious so that's a deal you have. When an adult tells you to do something you're most likely going to do it because there adults and they always like to get respected or else they see you as a bad person. Like when a teacher asks you a question you have to respond and think about also to not make yourself look like a fool.
